Renamo: Terrorism in Mozambique

Abstract

... this study will testify to the nature of Renamo's chaotic search for power as Mozambique moves from Afro-Marxist policies toward a more democratic multiparty state. --Choice... an invaluable contribution to understanding why things are so bad and providing some glimmering of how a solution might be found... provides a uniquely useful light on Renamo's murky origins and the means by which it manages to sustain itself. --Africa Analysis... Alex Vines has compiled the most comprehensive and balanced survey to date of the origins and evolution of the Mozambican counter-revolution. --Third World QuarterlyVines' wide-ranging survey is still the first place to turn for well-documented details on both internal and external aspects of Renamo's war. --International Journal of African Historical Studies... very informative... it is precisely 'everything you wanted to know about the MNR but were afraid to ask.' --Terence RangerVines's encyclopedic book provides essential information about this successful rebel movement which continues to be dangerous for the Mozambican government, even though South Africa has disengaged from its day-to-day operations.
